Four most stylish jackets for your fall wardrobe
As summer ends and cooler temperatures make their way in, you may be digging out your jackets and coats from last season to get ready for the changing weather. Most people consider the crisp breeze and falling leaves a welcome reprieve after months of battling the summer heat.
While I do love summer, fall is my personal favorite season for fashion — especially jackets. I love outerwear that expresses my style and personality while also keeping me cozy.
The best part is you can find jackets at every price point to suit every budget. While there’s a unique jacket for every fall fashionista, there are a couple of musthaves for any closet.
Here are my suggestions for the most stylish jacket staples to have in your wardrobe.
Denim
A denim jacket is beyond practical, so much so that there’s not much I can say about it that isn’t already understood. Like jeans, you can wear a denim jacket with anything. It’s timeless, built to last, and it transcends all categories of style. And your denim jacket doesn’t have to only be for fall. I get good use out of mine in the spring and summer, so it’s a great piece that will last season upon season.
Leather
The leather jacket is my No. 1 go-to for fall. Think of it as the “little black dress of jackets.” Like the denim jacket ,you can dress it down or dress it up as the need arises. If you’re in the market for one, I suggest hitting your nearest thrift store to see if you can find a great vintage leather jacket. If you feel like splurging, a quality leather jacket is a great investment piece that will last for years. And worry not if you’re against real leather — there are plenty of stylish faux and vegan leather options.
Trench
The trench is like that one friend you have that meshes well with everyone — a total chameleon and the type of pal you can bring anywhere and trust she’ll be well received. Sort of like the denim jacket, the trench is also timeless and proves its practicality at the sight of a rain cloud or when paired with a wind-vulnerable party dress.
Blazer
I would like to propose that we once and for all lay to rest the idea that the blazer’s only place is in the office. This topper really ought to be seen for what it is, and not relegated to the dowdy associations of yesteryear. I’ve been getting total Murphy Brown vibes from all these plaid, oversized numbers we’re seeing everywhere for every occasion, and I’m not opposed to it. The proof is in the pudding when it comes to when and where the blazer applies.
If your look needs some blazer representation, I suggest finding one that catches your eye on your next shopping trip or pulling one you already own but don’t wear often and taking it for a spin.
